To all wiom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR E. POOLE, citizen of the United States,; residing at Trenton, in the county of Mercer and State of New Jersey, have invented-certainnew and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable s me er which the followin is a specification, reference being had t erein to the accompanying drawing. d g This invention relates to a'--'nbn-refillable bottle, and has for its object the production of aneflicient means whereby the insertion of any.. 1' quiii after the valve casing has been placed-upon thebottle, is prevented.

Another object of this invention is the production of .an eflici'ent valve" seat and gliinger, whereby the plunger is forced more rmly upon the valve seat in case it is attempted to force any liquid into the bottle. 'withlthese and other objects in view this w certain novel combination'sj'constructions, and arrangementsof partsas, will be hereinafter fully described andclaim'ed. t In the accompanying drawin s:-'Figure l is avertical' section of the device showing the valve in a closed position. Fig. 2 is a vert'ical' section of the device showing the valve in an open position. -Fig. 3 is a sectiontaken on the line 3-3 in FigE. 1 looking ig. 4 is. a perspective'vi'ew of the improved valve seat R-cferriii to the accompa'ny' drawing by numera s, 1 deslgnates a va ve casing provided with the circumferential flange 2. This'cireumferential flange2 is positioned near thetop of the 'casingand is provided with ana erture 3. A shield 4 is positioned beneatht e clrcumferential flange 2, and 1s provided with the upwardly extending neck 5. This neck 5 extends through the aperture 3.-formed inthe flange 2, and is provided with an enlarged head 6, which is substantially of the same size as the aperture 3 e ,2. It will be seen that by use of this hea ,6 and the flange 2, that it will be impossible to insert any forei n object to grip the valve for holdin t e same out ofzen a ement with the va ve 6 ,when' his des re .toinsert in a liquid. The shield 4is provided with a plurality of ion 'tudinally extending channels 7 -,thro ugh which the li uidwpasses when it is desired to empty the 'ottle. The shield 4 is formedj with the casing 1, and is provided if the bottle were b1 t insert a tool therein,

7 upon its lowerlside with the recess 7 f By use pf this recess, it will be seen that'the valve-1s held in such position to"a l low-the l qu d .to flow freely from the bottle when it; s desired to empty the same.

A washer 8 constituting the valve seat and provided Wit-ll the de ending annular rib 9, is positioned on the ower side of the casing, The inner wall 10 of this valve seat 8 is larger at the top than it is. at the bottom, and in this manner forms a very eificient seat for the valve. The valve consists of a conical plunger 11 and normally rests upon the wall 10 of the washer or valve seat 8. The upper corners of the plunger 11 are rounded as shown at 12, and in this ma'nner'eliminates any sharp corners whereby the plunger may be easily. gripped by 'some'tool for lifting the same out of engagement with the valve seat when it is desired to insert some liquid.

gThe casing 1 is held upon the neck of the bottle 13 by means of the metallic band 14 which is provided with the inwardly extending gripping portions 15 which register with the circumferential grooves 16 formed upon the casing and bottle. Positioned between the casing 1 and the bottle 13, is a washer 17 which forms a tight closure after the two sections have been fastened together by means of the band 14.

When it is desired to empty the bottle, the same is inverted and the plunger 11 leaves its position upon the washer or valve seat 8, and rests upon the recess 7 formed in the shield 4, the liquid passing through the valve seat and longitudinally extending channels, and out through the aperture formed in the circumferential flange 2. But turned in this position and it were attempted to fill the same the force of the liquid upon the plunger would force it upon'the valve seat and the more pressure with which the liquid is inserted, the tighter would be the engagement between" the plunger and the valve seat. It willjal'sof'be seen by use of the shield provided-wi'th'the neck and enlarged head portion and the circumferential flange, b t

- u should a wire or similar substance be in serted through this combination and the ion} gitudina lly extending channels, it would be impossihle to grip the wire would slip ofi the rounded corners.

lun or since' the P g no:

, positioned within said is claimed as new is Having thus described my invention, what In a non-refillable bottle of the class described, the combination-with a valve casing, a valve seat formed in said valve casing, said valve seat provided with an aperture having elongated inclined side Walls, a circumferential ri'in formed upon the lower edge of said valve seat adapted to fit in the neck of a bottle for holding said Vill"6 seat upon the neck of a bottle, a conical plunger valve seat, said in clined walls of said valve seat gripping said plunger for a considerable distance when said valve seat is in a closed position, said conical plunger provided with a gradually rounded upper end for presenting a smooth surface throughout its length, the end of said plunger always extending through the aperture formed in said valve seat for constituting a centering means for guiding said plunger upon said valve seat, and a shield positioned above said valve.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ARTHUR E. POOLE.
